Students Protest Michigan University's Removal Of Pendulum After Bros Rode It Naked For "Wrecking Ball" Spoofs

Maybe a little bit of Lysol would've been necessary, but a complete removal?

Students are protesting Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, which has decided to take down a popular pendulum installation that in recent weeks has become the setting for a handful of naked male students' spoofs of Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" video.

A "memorial" protest took place on the campus Tuesday night that saw students demanding GVSU to reinstall the ball, which also started to trend on Twitter with the hashtag #reinstalltheball, but its unclear if demand will see the university's facilities department return the installation.
